My pick

Derrius Guice. 16. player. 26. When you look up “Ravens Running Back” in the dictionary, a picture of Derrius Guice is right next to that definition. Dubbed the “Angry Ballerina,” Guice is a bad man with a punishing mentality. Go pull up a highlight reel of Guice and you’ll consistently see a guy who runs defenders over and fights for every yard. Guice will bring back memories of a young Frank Gore. <p><em>— Richard Bradshaw</em></p>. Running Back. LSU

Derrius Guice is the man. Who else can step in for Leonard Fournette, following a legendary career with LSU, and make fans forget about the talent they lost? Hell, there were times even when Fournette was still with the Tigers that Guice simply looked like the more talented back.

Guice runs with authority, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a guy who runs more pissed off than him. Guice, while not heavily featured as a pass catcher, has also shown flashes of brilliance in the receiving game. While asking a guy to be a team’s feature running back isn’t always fair, Guice would satisfy that task, and then some.

Next: Matt Skura provides potential replacement for Ryan Jensen

Simply put, Guice is a dog. The way he runs should bring back memories of Jamal Lewis. A backfield combination of Guice and Alex Collins is extremely attractive and could get the Ravens offense back on track to the style of play-calling that helped win the team its two Super Bowl titles.
